Team for Trick-or-Treat Battle competition

I would like some advice on what Pokemon to put on my team for this tournament, other than the Super-Size Gourgeist as that's required, I'm thinking of using the event Gengar that'll be coming out, a Golurk with No Guard, Aegislash, Sableye, and Shedinja.

No Guard Golurk isn't that useful, since all the participants are immune to Dynamic Punch. You could boost Stone Edge to 100% accuracy, though Chandelure is already hit hard by Earthquake, while everyone else falls to Iron Fist Shadow Punch. Iron Fist is still the way to go to make Shadow Punch a usable attack:
-Rock Polish
-Earthquake
-Shadow Punch
-(filler)
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry
Ability: Iron Fist

Obviously, Super Size Gourgeist is a must:
-Will-o-Wisp
-Leech Seed
-Seed Bomb
-Shadow Sneak/Phantom Force/Protect
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Sitrus Berry
Ability: Frisk

or
-Phantom Force
-Seed Bomb/Bullet Seed
-Shadow Sneak
-Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Item: Leftovers/Kasib Berry
Ability: Frisk

Take note of Aegislash's versatility:
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak/Iron Head
-Iron Head/Pursuit
-King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Leftovers/Weakness Policy/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag

or
-Substitute
-Toxic
-King's Shield
-Shadow Ball
Nature: Modest
EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Leftovers

or
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak
-Flash Cannon
-Pursuit
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Sneak
-Iron Head/Shadow Claw
-Head Smash/Shadow Claw
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

You don't really need the event Gengar; any Gengar you can get yourself does fine. IMO, shiny Gengar doesn't look too different from regular Gengar. But if you're thinking of using Mega Gengar in this, don't. Unless you want the extra Speed, Mega Gengar isn't worth it because Shadow Tag is useless against Ghosts, since they're immune to trapping moves/abilities. You're better off using regular Gengar in that case:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave
-Focus Blast
-Destiny Bond
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Will-o-Wisp
-Disable/Taunt/Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave/Focus Blast
Nature: Timid
EVs: 28 HP/148 SAtk/80 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

or
-Hex
-Substitute
-Will-o-Wisp
-Taunt
Nature: Timid
EVs: 144 HP/108 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

Sableye should abuse Prankster to the fullest:
-Taunt
-Will-o-Wisp
-Recover
-Foul Play/Knock Off
Nature: Bold/Impish
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster

Before you even think of using Shedinja, don't. Take note that Wonder Guard makes it only vulnerable to super effective hits. Consider that this Friendly is for Ghost Pokemon only. Put 2 and 2 together, and this means that Shedinja gets totally screwed in this Friendly.
 
Thanks for the advice, I forgot about that there for a moment, I'm trying to make a diverse dual type team, so I might replace the Shedinja with Chandelure and try to find an Iron fist Golurk. And as for the Gengar, I just want it for the Shiny factor in Mega forme, and as you stated there's the power and speed boost too.

My other gripe about using Mega Gengar over regular Gengar is that Life Orb Gengar hits (slightly) harder than Mega Gengar:

252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Dusclops: 73-88 (49.6 - 59.8%) -- 98.4% chance to 2HKO

252 SpA Mega Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Dusclops: 68-84 (46.2 - 57.1%) -- 75.4% chance to 2HKO

(calcs assuming level 50 stats)
